Story
JoJo is a fawn colored, two year old, sweet girl. She had a litter of puppies and now that they have all been adopted, it is her turn. She was a great mama and deserves a great forever home. JoJo is very active and she goes on 3 walks daily. She will literally dance and tap her nails with a smile waiting for a walk. She rushes to the door and sits for her leash. She listens very well to commands. Her foster human brother introduced her to his skateboard and JoJo will run alongside on her leash and has started pulling him as well. JoJo loves affection. She readily waits to be pet and will hold her head up to have her neck rubbed. If she needs more love, JoJo will come up and stand in front of you and put her head against you asking for more rubs. She loves car rides. She is crate and potty trained. Due to her size older children will be best. Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen?

Story
Scarlett clearly hasn't had the best start in life but she has completely moved on from the past and is one happy, excited girl to start her new life. She loves her foster home and just wants to be loved. She still has all the puppy energy so a fenced yard will be needed. She would love fur and human siblings, she loves to play. Scarlett is an all around perfect dog, she just loves everyone. She is beyond sweet and affectionate and would make the best companion. She is potty trained and enjoys baths, car rides, anything you throw her way. She is super smart and learned a command within minutes. She is about 1 year old and weighs 50lbs.

Story
Hi, I am Trixie. I was born in December so I’m not a tiny puppy but full of puppy love. I’m a small girl and probably won’t be a big dog at all. I’m not a crazy active pup like some, but definitely have my crazy puppy moments. I love to be outside and run. I’m a bit of a bird chaser, but we are working on that. I am quite the jumper when I see a bug. I can come off all fours and jump several times in a row. My foster mom thinks I’m part kangaroo. I mostly love couch snuggles. I’m a super lovey-dovey girl and like to be as close to you as possible. I am almost house trained, and sleep in my crate at night. I am used to cats, but sometimes play a little rough with them and might chase them if they run depending on my mood. I love kids and get along great with other dogs. My forever home MUST have another dog!!! Are you interested in adopting Trixie or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
